btw, how do you get connected to celcom?
using hp or data card?
please comment on the performance also
thanks

dunno la..
the seller said celcom need around 3 days.
but maxis & digi can get in a few hours.

i paid deposit rm120 (correct amount rite? hope i'm not conned coz i cant find the deposit amount anywhere.
btw, anyone know what is the minimum contract with celcom 3g data plan? the guy said 1 year

i'll be using my hsdpa card.
will see if can use torrent & i'll post the perfomance here.
hoping to receive the sim card on monday or tuesday.

usually the contract is 1 year
so you're going to put in desktop?
maybe we should open a celcom thread and talk about it

i dont have a desktop.
will put in my notebook.

so let say, it turns bad.
bad perfomance, cant torrent etc (i hope not )
if i dont want to continue the subscription, consider my deposit burn la rite?
nothing else?

i just want to torrent.
i'm pretty confident celcom 3g can as my customer reported (& quite fast too )
if cant torrent, rm120/month is not worth it for me.

i see
bad or not, we all don't know
it's all depends on location and luck
even if you're not satisfied, you've to pay for the remaining months of your contract

i guess HSDPA/3g doesn't forbid you to p2p/BT
just like maxis 3g
RM120/month is definitely worth it if good coverage and fast
i'll probably get one if sounds good because i'm still waiting for the arrival from tenaga's broadband
now i'm stucked at my digi edge connecting via my phone with dial up speed

I was told by a Celcom dealer that if you don't buy the data card from Celcom, there is no minimum subscription. So, if you are not happy, you can terminate the service after one month.

If you sign a contract, then Celcom is legally entitled to sue you if you do not keep on paying for 12 months, or whatever the length of your contract is, even if you don't use the service at all. Otherwise, what is the point of signing a contract?

i'm interested to know if Celcom 3G allows for good p2p/t0rr3nt
cheers!

Using router in maxis modem is almost impossible. Maybe there is someone more brilliant can think of a way to do it. Please brainstorm

Why not? I'm using the modem with my Linksys WRT54G router

other than BT, we need to look at other aspects too
like while surfing, will it like stop responding suddenly, speed, etc

Please help.

What is your setting? Dynamic or PPPOE?
What you punch in for login password if PPPOE

Can you PM me what is the IP you use for router and so on?



Your help will be very appriciated

You just need to set the connection type to "Automatic Configuration - DHCP" instead of PPPOE. Btw, I'm using the DD-WRT firmware

Want to know what is DD-WRT firmware

If I'm not mistaken the password is "wap". I think the setting is a bit same as maxis 3G setting. Please try is out and tell me the result.

There was once a comparison in the newspaper showing that Celcom's 3G service defeated Maxis' 3G service in terms of download speed in most areas.

It is a 3rd party firmware which can be flashed only on supported routers and one of the cheapest and common router that is supported in Malaysia is the Linksys WRT54G family. More information regarding this firmware can be found here.

i am sorry to say the password is not wap

I use dlink router.

There isn't any auto configuration

you only can choose,

1. dynamic
2. static
3 pppoe
4. others

BT test

You'll be reaching your monthly download limit in a few days!

http://www.maxis.com.my/personal/broadband/termncon.asp (see 5.3.1)

Come on its just a test.

BTW its only 2 days old.

If they cut off my line i still can demand refund because I have 30 days gurantee refund.

Until now, satisfied with the performance.

If they dont kacau me with the 3Gb limit, I will continue support them.

Hmm, how much you've paid to maxis?
